“The food is delicious! Good sized meal.“

“My boyfriend and I eat hibachi all the time and was in the area so we decided to try and soooo glad we did!!The crab Rangoon was the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot.One lady was serving, bussing and taking care of everyone she was so sweet and attentive.The food was delicious, the review that said the sweet carrots were best in town was not wrong! They melt in your mouth ?“

“makino is awesome for all you can eat sushi and hibachi. I highly recommend it“

“First time eating there. Read Grubhub article in paper. He was wrong in his rating, it's a 5! For anyone really serious about Korean/Japanese fine cooking KOKO is a must. It has been said that we eat with our eyes too. Dishes were finely presented and they tasted as good as they looked. Dishes are light and complex without being fussy. I believe they have set the bar for Asian cuisine in Knoxville.“

“1st time and definitely won’t be my last. Food was great, service was great and restaurant was clean and nice. Everyone was friendly“

“My family absolutely loves the karaoke. It's family friendly, kids can sing, dance and we can still enjoy an adult beverage if we choose, or donuts while we sing amongst the other amazing treats we can't wait to try. The mobile Karaoke is where its at.“

“Loved the drunken noodles. The sushi was great. I really enjoyed the size of the rolls and fresh ingredients. Tom Kha was amazing. I could have ordered any one of these things and been full. But, I had a second meal with the combo. Great little place near downtown. Walked to this location from my hotel.“

“The octopus balls were made to order, and the sushi was fresh. There is a 7 to 15 minute wait depending on what you get, but there was a surprise lack of people despite all they offer. I wanted to try them at least 3 times before leaving a review and have been pleasantly supprised each time. The boba tea is also really sweet as well. I normally get the taro tea, but I would honestly try their other flavors at a later date. Staff is nice and very 'get it done' oriented, so you know your order is going to be good. More authentic and less greasy in comparison to the other asian eatery in the mall, and the octopus balls were extremely hot, a little undercooked, but that's pretty normally for that dish. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone living or visiting to try.“

“Great atmosphere, and service!“

“Excellent choice for sushi and Asian fusion cuisine. Creative rolls! There is a full bar and the bartender Claire is superb! New menu items added and be sure to add what’s available off menu as sometimes there are specialty items you can try.“

“Hana Awaka - super good. Tastes like cotton candy.

One of our favorite sushi rolls here is the Super Dynamite Roll.

For appetizers, Crab Rangoons are to die for. So delicious! I love the crispy outer and the creamy crab filling inside. The sweet dipping sauce balances all the flavors and every time we eat these rangoons, we are tempted to order another round.

Parking: This location I’m in Market Square, downtown so it’s surrounded by plenty parking garages and street parking. Depending on what day and time of day you come, parking may be free.“

“Shawn Comerford and his entire staff at the cedar bluff location are amazing!! I’m obsessed with their food and their hospitality! Go check out the food, you won’t regret it! 🤟“

“Great food… Great atmosphere… Great staff…“

“Food was ok, exhaust system was terrible we were covered in steam. We didn’t even get finished eating our expensive meal before they came to clean the grill with a terrible smelling solution that smelt like vomit! When confronted waiter he was very rude and unprofessional, manager wasn’t any help either. Would not recommend and sure won’t be back!“

“This was our family's favorite Hibachi/sushi place in Knoxville. Now I live right next door and it's only gotten better over the years.

The servers are always friendly and have an uncanny ability to remember your order from one visit to the next. The food is consistent and delicious. I highly recommend.“

“Probably the best ramen I’ve ever had.“

“My family loves the food here! Delicious steamed dumplings and orange chicken! We usually order takeout- the woman who puts our to go orders together is the best! She knows the exact condiments without us asking ❤️ The wait staff is kind too ❤️“

“Great sushi and other food.“

“I was passing through on a road trip and the group mentioned hibachi so we found Ichiban. I was pleased with it. A small restaurant with a friendly server. It took about an hour for the four of us to get back on the road, so it wasn't particularly quick but overall a good experience.
The group was chatting so I forgot to take a ton of pictures but here's the nigiri and the roll.“

“Love ❤️ 😍 coming here! They have been consistently delicious, fast and very good 👍 😋 service. Entertaining chefs, they cook up a storm and give large portions, which we love ❤️. Definitely recommend to bring your family, friends and for Date nights. It's very enjoyable 😉 ☺️ with plenty of left overs to take home.“

“My husband and I have always loved your food! I get the Chicken Hibachi Dinner & my husband gets the Steak & Chicken Hibachi. Great portion sizes & highly satisfying meals! Tonight, my Dad got to try it for the first time from The Winery at Seven Springs Farm in Maynardville where your truck was. He said, "Give them recognition! This is phenomenal!

“This is hands down the best chinese food I've had in a LONG time! Everything was made fresh and the taste was beyond expectations in every way.

We ordered the spring rolls and chicken on a stick for appetizers; the chicken was so flavorful and the spring rolls had a nice crisp crunch when biting into it. ♡

The pork mei fun, beef lo mein and general tso's chef special were amazing as well! The serving was plentiful and the taste was sooo good. The mei fun was probably the best I've ever had; the general tso's was top notch, and the lo mein was hands down my favorite. The veggies were crisp, the meat was tender and the noodles were spot on.

The staff was very friendly and brought everything out quickly. I would definitely recommend eating here and I'm DEFINITELY going to be visiting for dinner again very soon!! ??“

“My Husband and I love coming to WokChow so much!! It’s always a go to whenever we do not know what to get for a meal! It is a wonderful and quick experience each time! We love to eat here as well with the relaxing atmosphere the restaurant has! They stock up well and you can always leave with a fortune cookie 🤗“

“Best Pad Thai in the country.“

“I had an amazing experience at Little Tokyo Cafe! The hibachi chicken dinner was delicious and only $15 each, making it a great value. We also tried the crunchy shrimp sushi - $10, which was absolutely delightful. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Japanese cuisine!“
